In an age where sequencing one’s own genome costs less than $1000, and our everyday activities are tracked by multiple sensors, Medicine as a field is changing. Building on the solid foundation of ‘evidence based medicine’, data driven bio-medicine now offers the opportunity to leap forward to a much higher resolution and personalized treatment.
The training required for engaging in high quality bio-medical informatics is highly diverse requiring strong quantitative skills as well as an understanding of life science and medicine. On the brights side, opportunities are endless across multiple fields of biology and medicine for fresh minds to come in and make a difference.
This one day tutorial to Computational Medicine is meant to serve as an introductory primer for students curious about entering the field as well as graduate students in the domain wishing to get a broad overview.
